The large river best known to the ancient Greeks was the Nile of Egypt.古西腊最著名的大河莫过于尼罗河.They spoke of the river with admiration and called Egypt "the gift of the Nile".人们赞美这条河流,并称它为"尼罗河之礼".The reason for this was,first,that the Nile brought water to a rainless desert and,second,that once a year,the river overflowed it anks,leaving,as the water went back,a new layer of fertile soil.这其中有两个原因:其一,尼罗河为干旱的沙漠带来了水源;其二,每年,尼罗河水都会溢出河岸,流走;水再次退回河中,肥沃的土地形成了.
